Why Simoncelli must keep delivering now

Following Marco Simoncelli's first podium finish in Brno, the Italian has the chance to build up some momentum. And if he is to break into MotoGP's elite group he must seize the opportunity now, says Toby Moody

A bit of Marco magic

Marco Simoncelli is either the good guy or the bad guy. It all depends on which side of the fence you take on May's Le Mans Pedrosa incident. But at Brno he finally turned it around with regard to results and got his first MotoGP podium, grinning like he'd won the lottery from underneath that trademark Hungarian Puli hair.

I have to admit I was not a worshipper of Marco through the ranks of 125 and 250, even though he was a champion in the middle class, nor in his first half-year on a MotoGP bike last season.
